0:00:04 > 0:00:08Never let it be said that we don't brighten up your day.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Pull up a chair, eat a sandwich on an enamel plate
0:00:11 > 0:00:14and let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Lincolnshire is renowned as being a bomber county in the 20th century,
0:00:48 > 0:00:54and there are still some rarities in the air in these parts.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Look at that!
0:00:55 > 0:01:01A Vulcan bomber doing a display especially for Bargain Hunt.
0:01:02 > 0:01:08That has to make this the ideal place for our teams to do battle.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16The Reds tell it how it is...
0:01:16 > 0:01:17- Don't you like these vases? - No.- Joy, look.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- No, they're horrible.- If I gave you a gorgeous pair of vases like this,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- what would you say? - Thank you very much.- No, thank you.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24- Really?- Absolutely.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Look at them, Charles!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Look at the dust that they're going to collect.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31..whilst the Blues had no fear of putting their foot in it.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Is this it? I'm thinking Holy Grail. - One foot in the grave.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36ALL LAUGH
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Ha-ha! But who has what it takes to be the winner at auction?
0:01:42 > 0:01:45(No!) Bid over there, come on.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Come on.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Let's meet the teams.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55GAVEL BANGS
0:01:55 > 0:01:59On Bargain Hunt today, we have a married couple for the Reds.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03We've got Joy and a ray of sunshine in the form of Ray.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06And, for the Blues, we have friends Sheila and Christine.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Hello, everyone.- ALL:- Hi.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Hello, Tim.- Now, Joy, what is this about you buying a house
0:02:11 > 0:02:12without even looking at it?
0:02:12 > 0:02:18Short version, our house was up for sale for a long time in France.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20We had four days to come and buy a house.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25The house we were buying, we were being shown by an estate agent
0:02:25 > 0:02:26who had his own house for sale,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28and we bought it without seeing inside.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Were you disappointed? - No, it's all we could afford.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35It was such a tight budget, Tim. You would have been proud - a bargain.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36You bargained with an estate agent
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- and bought an estate agent's house for a bargain?- Yes, yes.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Well, then, you've done very, very well.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Now, you're a retired lady now.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- I am.- What do you do with your spare time?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Love exploring the countryside and I like charity shops.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- And do you find bargains in these places?- I married him.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- What, in a car boot? - SHE LAUGHS
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- I found him in a car boot. - Did you find him on a stall?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01No, brilliant. Now, Ray, it says here you're retired
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- but you used to be a prison officer. - That's correct.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- Did you enjoy those years... - Yes, yes.- ..behind bars?- 22...
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- HE LAUGHS - 22 years behind bars.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10You'd have to do quite an offence to get that.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- You would, you would indeed.- What was good about prison officer work?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- The people I was working with.- Yeah.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20And then I ended up doing courses for inmates
0:03:20 > 0:03:22to teach learning skills, and that was interesting.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25So, what sort of things are you going to go for between you?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Something bright and shiny, I think. - Yeah? Do you agree with that, Joy?
0:03:28 > 0:03:29- Absolutely.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Anyway, good luck. Now, for the Blues. Sheila.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- Hi.- How did you meet and become friends?
0:03:34 > 0:03:35It was about 30 years ago.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38We met in a playground. It wasn't for us,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40it was for our children. THEY LAUGH
0:03:40 > 0:03:42We were waiting for the children to come out of school...
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Yeah.- ..and, as parents do, we started talking to each other.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48And the children got to know each other and wanted to play
0:03:48 > 0:03:51with each other, so we got to know each other that well.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53We then started to socialise together.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58We joined a singing group that we... still continue to sing today.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02- What sort of things do you like to sing, you girls?- We do film themes.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Have you two girls got a song in you
0:04:04 > 0:04:06that's bursting to come out right now?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Ooh.- Which one?- What shall we sing?
0:04:08 > 0:04:09How about Hallelujah?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12BOTH: # Hallelujah
0:04:12 > 0:04:16# Hallelujah
0:04:16 > 0:04:19# Hallelujah
0:04:19 > 0:04:24# Hallelujah. #
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Whoa, how about that? That's pretty good, isn't it?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Now, it says here, Sheila,
0:04:29 > 0:04:31that doughnuts played a big part in your life, is that true?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Yes, when my sons were small,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37I was stood in a queue because they wanted doughnuts
0:04:37 > 0:04:40and the queue was so long I thought, there's got to be something in this.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44And so I decided to make enquiries as to where I could buy
0:04:44 > 0:04:48a doughnut trailer, and I've been doing doughnuts part-time ever since.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Marvellous. Now, Christine. - Hello.- Hello, darling.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53You've had a recent change of career.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Yes, I used to work in a care home for older people for 12 years
0:04:58 > 0:05:02but, unfortunately, the care home closed down
0:05:02 > 0:05:04and we were made redundant, of course.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- Oh, dear.- So I have changed career. I now work in the local supermarket
0:05:08 > 0:05:11on the butchery deli counter.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14But there is a lot to the job that I didn't realise.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17You're at the cutting edge, aren't you, in the butchery?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- Absolutely, yes.- Now, how are you going to get on as a team today?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21What things are you going to buy?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- I like Art Deco, so...- Me too. - ..if we can find something,
0:05:24 > 0:05:25that would be great.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Yeah, do you agree?- Yes, me too. I'm an Art Deco fan, yes.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30We like unusual as well, so we're open to...
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Go with anything really, won't you? - Oh, yeah.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Wouldn't you say you're easily led, you girls?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Well, it depends who's leading us. THEY LAUGH
0:05:37 > 0:05:39That is the right answer.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Anyway, first off, though, you have £300. There is the money moment.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46£300 apiece. You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Well, you can't beat a good doughnut, can you?
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Now, let's meet our experts.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59Bargain spotter Charles Hanson will be advising the Reds.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02And Sheila will be pleased the Blues are being led by a man who's
0:06:02 > 0:06:05always armed and ready for action - Paul Laidlaw.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- This is it, the hour is about to start.- Yes!- Joy to the world.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12What's the plan?
0:06:12 > 0:06:17The plan is silver, unusual, and priority - what makes a profit.
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Make money.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Unusual or quirky.- Love that.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Definitely.- We're in agreement? - Absolutely.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27So, no controversy here, we are one united team on a mission.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Yes.- Indeed.- High-five.- Wahey!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Buy cheap, sell expensive.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Yeah.- We can do it, Charles. - I like your style.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- We're going to beat the cunning Laidlaw.- Quite right.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Let's go this way.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Fighting talk, Reds and Blues, this is going to be fun.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45OK, teams, 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47BELL CHIMES
0:06:48 > 0:06:51OK, so, team, we can either go cross-country, Joy,
0:06:51 > 0:06:54or we could keep on this highway and head south this way.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Highway safe.- Let's go this way. Come on.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58As the Reds take the high road,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Joy certainly knows who they're up against.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03You've got lots of bargains, haven't you?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Bargains, lots of bargains, exactly, yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- We've got to beat the Laidlaw. - Yeah, Paul Laidlaw.
0:07:07 > 0:07:13And surely, even Carlos' archrival can't have a potential buy already?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15I think we've seen it all before.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- I recognise this.- Is that a Poole?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Very distinctive of the period, and this is interwar era,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22with Poole, England.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- But, look, the dealer has done some work.- Yes.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28This distinctive stylised floral decoration is hand applied.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30None of your transfer print.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34And the decorator puts their mark, in this instance - BN,
0:07:34 > 0:07:36and it's almost like a dollar sign there, the scored 'S'.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Iris Skinner's the decorator, and she was working from 1928 and 1937.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44And we said the interwar years, we're bang on. Yours for £55.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Baluster vase like that, it should be worth that in auction.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48And this is a retail environment.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51We are on fire! We are on fire!
0:07:51 > 0:07:52THEY LAUGH
0:07:52 > 0:07:53Do you like that, by the way?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- I do.- Definitely.- You've actually brought my attention to this.- Yes.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- And I don't actually dislike it. - Can we...
0:07:59 > 0:08:00I mean, after what you've just explained,
0:08:00 > 0:08:04I find it very interesting now, which is something I never knew before.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Looks like it's time to muscle down on the price, then.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Meet my new best friend.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10- REDS: Ah!- How are you doing, mate?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- MAN:- Good.- You all right? - Yes, excellent.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15So is this your work? Did you identify that or did you...?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- I did, yes.- Did you? Good for you. - Yes.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- Well, it's a crazy cheap price. - A crazy cheap price.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- To kick off our journey here...- £30.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Do you still like it?- Yes, I do.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Not at £30.- Well, I like the way you think.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Instead of... - I need to squeeze you a bit more.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- She'd like to squeeze you... - THEY LAUGH
0:08:31 > 0:08:32'Oi, cheeky.'
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- MAN:- I tell you what, 25, but that's it, I'm afraid.- 25.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- What do you think?- I think it's very nice, I do.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- Do you think that's good at 25? - For an early piece,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- I think it's good value. - What do you think, Paul?
0:08:42 > 0:08:46I agree with what the man says, I'm not going to be silly about it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49He's pitched it right, we know what we're doing here.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Can we do this?- Thank you.- Thank you. Can I give you a squeeze?
0:08:52 > 0:08:53THEY LAUGH
0:08:53 > 0:08:56'Careful you don't crush her.'
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Good man, I like your style.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02Good. Ladies, are you on some sort of mission here to beat records?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- That was under four minutes.- Wow. - We love a challenge.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Quick workers.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09If we extrapolate from here,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12we could be having a bacon roll in 15 minutes.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14HE LAUGHS A glass of wine?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Oh, I'm loving it.- Let's go bargain hunting!- Come on, then.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Oi, that's my line.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22So, at four minutes in, the Blues make their first buy.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Good on you, girls. Now, how are those Reds getting on?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- What about clock garniture? - That's quite nice.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Why does it appeal to you? - Well, it's very attractive, isn't it?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Especially with these...- Enamel. - Yes.- It's what you call cloisonne,
0:09:34 > 0:09:38and it's almost wire work with inset enamel.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41And the reason I quite like it, it almost gives off that Egyptian,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Tutankhamen time, and that's when this was made.
0:09:44 > 0:09:481920s, 1930s. And we like it, don't we?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- We do.- Yes. What do you think on the condition?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54It's... I think, because this age, some of the enamel just on here...
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- It has been repaired, though, hasn't it?- Oh.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00But don't forget, it's maybe 90 years old.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Yes. People like things when they're perfect, don't they?- They do, yeah.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05If you saw that at an antique shop,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07like we are today, what do you think it's worth?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- 40-60.- £400-£600?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- No, 40-60.- Really? That little?
0:10:11 > 0:10:12How much, madam?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Very best on that would be 85. - Really?
0:10:15 > 0:10:20For the quality, I thought I was going to hear maybe 125.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- So, I know we're very early in, Joy...- Yeah.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- ..but that's pretty good value. - Even with the damage?
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Even with the damage, because it's quite unusual.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Would you consider 40?
0:10:32 > 0:10:33No, I couldn't. I couldn't do it again.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35What is your real, real bottom?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I mean, I'd make a little bit of an effort and say 75.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Thanks a lot.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- OK, you sound fair.- Shall we mental note it and come back?- BOTH: Yes.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44We'll come back. Thank you for your time.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46So, mental note. We'll come back to it
0:10:46 > 0:10:48and say to the stallholder thanks ever so much.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- BLUES: Thank you. You're very kind. - All right, no problem.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- We've literally just started. - But the time flies.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54It certainly does, Charles.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Let's hope it's still there if you come back.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- What's crying out at you? - Nothing yet.- A bit rustic, yes.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Nothing yet.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- I like the fact that you're even looking at this stuff.- Yes.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Because, you know, clearly you've got an open mind
0:11:09 > 0:11:11if you're scratching about in that.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12What are you trying to say there, Paul?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Quality is in the eye of the beholder, after all.
0:11:15 > 0:11:21- How about sort of trunks and... - No.- What is up now?- No, won't sell.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26We'll take your word for it, Joy, you are very determined.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- I quite like these vases.- 15 quid. - No, they've had their day, Charles.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Don't you like these vases? Joy, look.- No, they're horrible.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36If I gave you a gorgeous pair of vases like this, what would you say?
0:11:36 > 0:11:37- Thank you very much.- No, thank you.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- 'Listen up, Charles.' - Absolutely. Look at them, Charles.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Look at the dust that they're going to collect.- They are just...
0:11:43 > 0:11:45You know, these were Grandmother's favourites.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Yeah, but Grandmother's dead now, I'm not a grandmother.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Oh, yes, I am a grandmother. - 'Are you sure about that, Joy?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52'It's not the sort of thing you usually forget.'
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- Look at that. And it's a complete... - Shambles.- It is a shambles.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59And thanks for coming. But it has potential.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- Tell you what, Charles, as it's you and you are special...- Yeah.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- ..we'll come back to it. - OK, thanks a lot.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09You know, you're a tease. Come on. Let's go. Sir, we'll leave it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Cor, she speaks her mind, that one.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Joy's got you wrapped around her little finger, Carlos.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Now, are those Blues finding more things they like?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18How are we doing?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Anything?- No. No, not yet.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Anything for you, ladies? - No, not for me.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- What are you seeing, anything? - No, nothing grabbed me.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33After a great start, the Blues are starting to stutter.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Now is the time for the Reds to step up their game.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- Where next?- I think we need to start buying.- I know we do.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41You tell them, Joy.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Enjoying it, Ray?- Absolutely.- Good. - Well, we've got one potential one.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Yes.- What was that?- BOTH: The clock.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Yeah, which we saw first of all.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Almost it was too early, wasn't it, to see that? Amazing.- Yeah.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Now, that may be, Carlos, but, like Joy says,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57you now need to start buying.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59So, how's it all going, Paul?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Oh, my word, we've lost that advantage, have we not?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03We're half an hour in.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Now, we're not behind schedule -
0:13:05 > 0:13:09two things in 40 minutes is the schedule, but we've lost that lead.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I think we just need a light on another killer purchase.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Maybe it's over there.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Get back to your girls then, boy.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Seems the Reds want to revisit the clock stall.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Hi.- Hello, my darling.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22We do like this.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Would you consider...
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Tell us to go away if you're not happy cos I don't want to offend you.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- £60?- 65 would be better.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34For what it represents, in terms of quality and craftsmanship,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- is a really good price. - And we're after quality.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39And you want to stand at that auction with a quality item...
0:13:39 > 0:13:43And that, for £65, is a really good start in my opinion.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Shake the lady's hand. It's our first one.- 65.- You are a darling.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Thank you so much.- Thank you. That's really, really kind.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- That's one down, team.- Yeah. - Two to go.- Onwards and upwards.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Onwards and upwards. - Thanks so much. Thanks a lot.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Well done, Reds, that's the first purchase in the old bag.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Both teams have had half their shopping time.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03It's all terribly nail-biting.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Now, we all know about excitement, don't we?
0:14:05 > 0:14:10But today, I have come across an object of such incredible beauty
0:14:10 > 0:14:13it has taken my breath away.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16What makes this box so special?
0:14:17 > 0:14:23Well, if you took the top of, you'd notice that it's extremely heavy.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28That's because this black stuff is a slab of Japanese iron.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32And the form of decoration is called damascening.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37What happens is that the artist engraves a series of lines
0:14:37 > 0:14:42and then other metals, principally gold, but also silver and platinum,
0:14:42 > 0:14:47has been hammered into those iron lines and then it's been polished.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51But you've got to look at the intricacy of the lines themselves.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53On the left, we've got a couple of buildings.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58But look at the way the craftsman has treated the thatched roofs.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01They've been scratched to texture them
0:15:01 > 0:15:04and make them look even more realistic.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07In the foreground, we've got a worker wearing a typical circular
0:15:07 > 0:15:13sampan-type hat, transporting water in hampers.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17The mythical nature of Mount Fuji is also present
0:15:17 > 0:15:20but all knobbly and roughly inlaid
0:15:20 > 0:15:23deliberately to give it that special texture.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28The generic name for this type of damascening is Komai work,
0:15:28 > 0:15:32after the family that perfected its technique
0:15:32 > 0:15:34early in the 20th century.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39In fact, from 1880 onwards, this type of gold onlaid iron
0:15:39 > 0:15:42was all the rage in the West.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46The other nice thing about it is the way that the top has been repaired.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Here, we've got metal brackets, look, in silver with a rivet,
0:15:50 > 0:15:54have been inserted to make quite sure that the slender wood frame
0:15:54 > 0:15:58doesn't flex with the weight of the iron panel.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03All in all, this is the business. What would it cost you over there?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06If you did a bit of hard negotiating, well,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09you might get it for £320.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13What might it make in a specialist Japanese works-of-art sale?
0:16:13 > 0:16:17I don't know, say 1,200-1,800.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18How's that?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Right, back to the shopping.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Both teams have one purchase each, and Joy still has plenty of energy.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- Let's keep going.- Let's keep going. - I know it's cross-country but...
0:16:28 > 0:16:31But it's good. We can do cross-country.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- If I get tired, you can carry me. - I'll carry you.- Thank you.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Joy, you are petite enough to be carried.- Ooh!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40You charmer, Carlos.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- I like you more and more.- Ha-ha!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Now, what have the Blues found?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Is this it? I'm thinking Holy Grail.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- No... Ha!- No. - No, one foot in the grave.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53THEY LAUGH
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- That's more like it.- I fear you may be closer to the mark by that.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Don't do yourselves down, Blues.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Meanwhile, Charles is still working hard with the Reds.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- How much is it? - I'll do it for 30 quid.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Just hold that for me, Ray. Joy, look at that.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13You know, if you have a London home
0:17:13 > 0:17:18and you want a really retro-looking radio in Bakelite
0:17:18 > 0:17:23which almost has this burr walnut appeal or appearance...
0:17:23 > 0:17:25It's actually in good condition as well.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Will it make a profit?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Well, it all comes down to those internet buys,
0:17:29 > 0:17:32which in Lincolnshire, maybe the market's more traditional,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35but this in my sale room, I think, might walk away.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37What's your best, sir, £30?
0:17:37 > 0:17:38- 25 quid.- Yeah.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40So, let me explain what we've got here.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Yeah, General Electricity Company. - Yeah, GEC...
0:17:46 > 0:17:49..Electric Company radio and it must be
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I would've thought 1935, 40. Team, what do you think?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Yeah, no, that's fine.
0:17:54 > 0:17:5525 quid, what are you going to do?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- I just think... Joy, look at me.- I am.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02..if you want your young man to make you money, this is the one for me.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03- Can I just say one thing?- Yes, sir.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Can we put it down cos it is really heavy?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- THEY LAUGH - Of course.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08It weighs a tonne.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- Joy?- Yeah, let's go for it. - Go for it.- Happy?- Deal.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Do you know what?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- If I was going to say to you, "That's my banker."- Yeah.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- That is there.- OK.- You're my expert. - Are you sure?- Yeah.- OK.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- Shake the man's hand quick. - Thank you so much.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- No problem.- You've been very kind.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28- RAY:- A nice-looking radio.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Yeah, it is and to me that's a bargain.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- And that's why WE have YOU as the expert.- I hope so.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34She has faith at least.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- You can't lose much on it, you know, can you?- No.- Really at £25.- No.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Job done?- Job done.- Yeah, job done. - Two down...- One to go.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43..one to go with a half hour to spare.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Excellent! We could get a cup of tea. - OK.- Not yet.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47Huh! I'll say, Charles.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Took long enough to get that second item, though.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Lordy, clocks seem popular today.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- What a belting, elegant Deco clock that is!- Hm.- That is.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- Out of Monte Carlo.- Wow!
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- How you doing? - MAN:- I think it was 50 quid.
0:19:02 > 0:19:0450 quid, eh?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Is he the kind of guy that you can talk to and do a deal with, or...?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- MAN:- Of course, he's the kind of guy you could talk to.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Do you like it, ladies?- Yes, I do.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16You'd almost think it was out of a grandmother clock, but no.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- That's what you get this stark, geometric, you said Art Deco?- Yes.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- It's Art Deco.- It's exactly it. - Yeah.- Yeah-yeah.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- So, we are waiting on... - Paul.- ..we are waiting on a price.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26- Somebody call Paul.- MAN:- Paul!
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- Sell us that clock.- PAUL:- 40 quid.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30- Can I make you an offer or no?- No.- No.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- MAN:- It's a nice thing. - It is a nice thing.- Well...you...
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Yeah, but you are only going to make 40.- It's better than a nice thing.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- It's a gorgeous thing. - MAN:- Honestly, it's 40 quid.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- Do you want my opinion?- Yes, please.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44- I'd buy it.- Would you?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Do you like it?- Yes, I like it. - I like it. We both like it very much.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- It's a head-turner.- Yeah.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52The worst thing with it is the marking to the face there.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55That's silvered and it cannot be undone.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58So if you like it, you've got to be prepared to live with that. Yeah?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Yeah, I do like it. - Are we buying this thing?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- We're buying this, Paul.- Is it your hand I'm shaking or Paul's?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- MAN:- It'll be my hand you're shaking, Paul seems to have disappeared.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Thanks very much. You've got a deal.- No problem.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Ladies, we've done it.- Got a deal. - Thank you very much, sir.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- Thank you.- Thank you.- But... Well, I say but.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Two things purchased in 40 minutes.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Yes!- We're bang on schedule, aren't we? We're like a train.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19HE LAUGHS
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- We're...we're on time! - I love... Oh-ho-ho!
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Oh, I do love punctuality. Well done to you two, Blues.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29That's another purchase made. Just one more to go.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- I think we might have to run now. - We're not far off it.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- I thought we'd have had them all in the bag by now.- I would. - HE LAUGHS
0:20:35 > 0:20:37You can never tell, Ray.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40As I say, there's much more to this shopping lark than meets the eye.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Time is really starting to fly and Paul has got to rally his troops.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- I think I've done all the work here so far on the spotting front.- Ah!
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- What do you reckon? - We do need an expert.- We're a team!
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- That's it, we're going to get the next one.- I love that.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- We're going to get the next one. - Come on, Sheila.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Now you know it's done?- Yep.- Yeah?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04And between us, we're going to find another belter, are we not?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- Yes.- Definitely.- Come on, let's do it.- BOTH: Let's go.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11You may be wanting in time, but not confidence. I like it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Let's go in this one, Joy. - This one here?- Yep.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Let's give it a whirl.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Now, what have the Blues found here?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20So, we're looking at an eel spear, yeah?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24This is what, when hunting for eels, this is one way to do it.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29Very striking object. Wrought iron, these tines here.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30You can see what it does,
0:21:30 > 0:21:33there's no point in dwelling on the nitty-gritty.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Who does it appeal to? Well, it's a great decorative object
0:21:36 > 0:21:38to hang on the side of your barn conversion or whatever
0:21:38 > 0:21:40and if you're in a rural area
0:21:40 > 0:21:43where eel fishing was something that went on,
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- well, you can see the appeal there, yeah?- Yeah.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48It's pub decor, it's interior decor, call it what you will.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Or it's just a collectable for those that are interested in
0:21:51 > 0:21:54fishing and related items. We need to find out the price, do we not?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Give me two ticks, I'll find out what the ticket is.- BOTH: OK.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Time for some negotiation with our shy stallholder.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Right, look, it's £75.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I saw another one here at about 120.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08So, it's looking OK. It's buyable.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Is there a profit in it? Maybe not at the moment.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- Do we want to push through this or not?- Yes.- We do.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17- Do you like it?- Yes, definitely.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19If that crosses you two, I'll tell you.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21THEY LAUGH
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- I'll go and see if I can get it down a bit cheaper.- Good luck.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Off you go, then, Christine. Do your stuff.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30What often is very worthy of saleroom interest
0:22:30 > 0:22:33is maybe buying a collection of walking canes.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37If I was to pick my favourites, I would do something like this, Joy.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41If we could almost say, "Right, sir, we want to buy these four canes."
0:22:41 > 0:22:44And IF we can get a bit more off for buying quantity,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46it could be a good wholesale price for auction.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- OK.- So, this one is late Victorian.- Right.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52This one here is Aesthetic, late-Victorian,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- with this wonderful, almost bamboo-effect cane.- OK.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58That's a late-Victorian one with an ebonised cane
0:22:58 > 0:23:00and a nice mushroom cover of 1890.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05This one is horn with a white metal collar of circa 1880.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- So, we could buy four.- Right. - What do you think, Joy?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- I think that's the plan, off you go. - I know you want to spend money
0:23:11 > 0:23:14and I just think rather than, perhaps, buying one big object
0:23:14 > 0:23:15that could rise or fall.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19When you buy a collection of a similar type of object,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- it could do quite well at auction. - There could be a rare one, then.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26For the four, what would be your very, very, very best?
0:23:28 > 0:23:3150, 50... 120 for the four.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- 100 and you got a deal. - Make it 110.- 100.- Go on.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37100, please, go on, cos we've got to win...
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- Go on, then, go on, then. 100. - Thank you.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Are you sure?- Yeah, seen as though it's you, Charles.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Well, get out of here!
0:23:43 > 0:23:45To me, £100.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47That one at auction ought to make 30,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50that one ought to make, hopefully, 40,
0:23:50 > 0:23:53that one might make 30 and that one could make 50.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Add it all together for £100, I think we could make some money.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- You're very kind.- Thank you so much. - Thank you very much.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Well done, Reds. That's you sorted.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05You now have your three items to take auction.
0:24:05 > 0:24:09But how is Christine getting on with the price on the eel spear?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Well, good news.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- I've shook on 58.- Good girl. - Well done.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- We've done it! - BOTH CHEER
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- What happened there? - THEY LAUGH
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Yep, with high fives all-round, that's your third and final buy.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27Congratulations. Now, how about some basic arithmetic?
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Three times 20 equals...
0:24:29 > 0:24:3160 minutes are up!
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Tick-tock, they spent £65 on this French Art Deco clock garniture.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46They tuned into this Bakelite radio, which cost them £25.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49And, finally, they walked away with
0:24:49 > 0:24:53a collection of silver mounted walking canes for the sum of £100.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- Great, Joy, was that fab? - Superb.- Excellent.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- You followed your leader though, didn't you?- We did.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- What a man to follow. - What a man to follow.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- He used to be a boy, and now he's a man.- We've watched him grow up.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09It's been lovely. What was your favourite piece, Joy?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- The walking sticks. - The walking sticks your favourite.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Do you agree with that, Ray? - No.- No.- No, clock garniture.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- Clock...- Garniture. - Is your favourite?- Yes.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- No.- OK, what is going to...
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Walking sticks.- And are they going to bring a bigger profit?- The clock.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25And the clock! We have a split decision, how lovely.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- How much did you spend? - £190.- £190, thank you.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32I'd like £110 of leftover lolly. Here it comes, 110.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Straight across to our man. OK, Carlos?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36I really want to bring joy to Joy,
0:25:36 > 0:25:38because she is a hard act to follow.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- So, something sparkly, gorgeous to impress you.- Whoo!
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- And you.- Oh, thank you.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Well, there's your challenge, Carlos, and good luck with it.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:25:50 > 0:25:54The 1930s Iris Skinner Poole Pottery vase cost them £25.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Ooh, la, la.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02This mid-20th century French Art Deco table clock set them back £40.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07And they finally wiggled away with this wrought iron eel spear,
0:26:07 > 0:26:08as you do, for £58.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Well, girls, you almost peaked early
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- and then you delayed everything to the last minute.- Yes.- We did.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Quite extraordinary. Now, Christine, which is your favourite piece?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20My favourite piece is the Art Deco clock.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Art Deco clock, do you agree with that?- Definitely.- You do, lovely.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Is the Art Deco clock going to bring the biggest profit?- Oh, yes.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Oh, we've got no split decision here.- No.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- How much did you spend in total?- £123.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36£123. I'd like £177, please.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Thank you very much.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40There's the five and the two which makes up the seven,
0:26:40 > 0:26:42cos Laidlaw is very particular about this.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- He likes to have exactly the right cash. Thank you, Paul.- Indeed, yeah.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48And why not? Cos every penny counts.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Have you got any idea what you're going to spend it on?
0:26:50 > 0:26:54If it's still there, Tim, I've seen something which is astonishing.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Technology and history combined. I just hope it's still there.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Yeah, well, it's a risky business this, you better beetle off,
0:27:00 > 0:27:03cos right now, we're going to shove off to the auction, aren't we?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Well, it's very nice to be with Colin Young
0:27:15 > 0:27:17in his saleroom in Bourne, Lincolnshire.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19Thank you very much for having us.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Now, first up, we've got a clock garniture
0:27:21 > 0:27:25and, frankly, I cannot believe that it's possible, retail,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28to buy a three-piece clock garniture with all that marble for only £65.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- I think that's cheap enough.- It is.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32It's got to clear that sort of figure, I would think.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- So what's your estimate, then? - We've put £60-£90 on it.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37OK, so they should be all right. Which is brilliant.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Next up is the GEC Bakelite radio.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42What sort of period is that?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45It's going to be just post-war or there, thereabouts.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Could be a wartime one, but certainly no newer than 1950.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- OK, fine. And do they sell? - They do. They sell very well.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53The Bakelite case really has got to be in perfect order.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57That looks fine. I'll put 25 to 40 on it on that basis.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00OK, well, the team paid £25 for it, doing rather well so far.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Next, the four sticks, which are an intriguing mixture, aren't they?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- How do you rate them?- I think, in this case, we're valuing by volume.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10The Dandy cane here, the topknot looks OK with that.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13A little bit of turned horn on there as well, so, nice combination,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16but it starts to get a little bit painful as you go down.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19The next one, the silver top is pretty poor,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21so that's not a good cane.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23- OK, so, how much for the four? - £50-80.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Well, that's a bit tight, because they paid 100, actually.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29They may need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Now, you spent £190. You gave Charles Hanson £110.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35What did you spend it on, Charles?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- OK...- What do you think?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Now, first of all. Let me tell you about them.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46There's a great name. It's CH. It's Charles Horner, 1907.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50This wonderful Edwardian quite jazzy bookmark imitating jade,
0:28:50 > 0:28:52but it isn't, it's probably Bakelite.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55And then, going forward about 30 years,
0:28:55 > 0:28:59you go to the great Norwegian designs and the great enamellers.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01And this brooch here has great style.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04I'm no jewellery expert but this caught my eye.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Made by a Norwegian man called Andersen
0:29:06 > 0:29:09and to me, it just has style So, I bought the two together
0:29:09 > 0:29:12to really galvanise the internet market,
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- because their market is worldwide. Do you like them?- They're gorgeous.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- They're growing, they're growing. - Good. They're quite organic.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- Go on, grab one, Joy. - May I?- Yeah, please do.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23I just thought, I couldn't let them both go.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26I had £110 and I wanted to go big and spend my money, you see.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- All of it?- Well, not quite.
0:29:29 > 0:29:34- How much?- The two together cost me £80.- Oh.- OK.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- And what do you think they'll make? - 100, 120. In my opinion.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41It was more I just liked them for you, basically.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Aw, I think you've chosen really well, Charles.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Well, they say that Scandinavian design is everything,
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- don't they?- Yes, they do.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50And Mr Andersen is a flavour of the moment
0:29:50 > 0:29:52and the bookmark is the bookmark, isn't it?
0:29:52 > 0:29:55It's quite sickly in colour, isn't it?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Sorry, but I mean that in a wonderful avant-garde way.
0:29:58 > 0:29:59You won't miss it, will you?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02And in Edwardian times, they wouldn't have done.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Anyway, lovely stuff. Are you happy, kids?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- ALL: Yes, absolutely. - OK, that's the main thing.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09But right now why don't we check out for the viewers at home
0:30:09 > 0:30:14what the auctioneer thinks about Charles' mixed lot.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Well, here we go, Colin.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19A nice lily of the valley Scandinavian brooch.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- Isn't that wonderful?- And a plastic bookmark with a silver mark.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26- I would say jade effect.- Yes, exactly, but I would say plastic.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Yeah, that's probably going to be the thing that's not a lot of value,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31you know, maybe £15, £20, something like that.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34This is the part of the lot, does sort of excite a little bit more.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Nicely marked up. Andersen of Norway -
0:30:36 > 0:30:38very well-known for these sort of things.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Nice enamel work, very simplistic in its design.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44And I suppose as a combination with the two,
0:30:44 > 0:30:47you've got to be a good £40-£60, I would think.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Well, Charles took a punt and he paid £80
0:30:49 > 0:30:52which I have to say, I think, is probably enough.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55But still, he may not go with that bonus buy.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58That's it for the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01First up is the Poole Pottery vase. Pretty this, isn't it?
0:31:01 > 0:31:05It is, this is OK. Nicely turned baluster and, of course,
0:31:05 > 0:31:08it's an Iris Skinner piece. It's still a fairly lowly £25-£40.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11It's OK, don't bang yourself up about it. £25 spent.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- OK.- So, they paid the right price. The Art Deco table clock.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I always like these strut-type pieces cos, you know,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19they're handy you can fold it up,
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- move it around.- Yeah. - Got quite a good look, hasn't it?
0:31:22 > 0:31:23It is fantastic, so Deco.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27That's one of the, sort of, periods that I have a lot of enthusiasm for.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29When you see something as big and bold as that,
0:31:29 > 0:31:32you can imagine that being on a partner's desk in a study.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34It is a statement clock, really, isn't it?
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Certainly is, Monte Carlo retailer too.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- So that helps.- Yeah, absolutely. - Ritzy old place.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Anyway, so, how much?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Well, a good £50-£80 and I'd be amazed
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- if it didn't make that sort of money.- They paid 40.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49- It's looking good.- Yeah. - And lastly, we've got the eel spear
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- which, I have to say, is a rather magnificent example.- It is.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54They don't come on the market very often but they do appear
0:31:54 > 0:31:57from time to time and certainly in this area.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00It's an area that we do have a lot of eels, being in the Fens
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- and the River Glen just down the road.- Yeah, anyway, how much?
0:32:03 > 0:32:07Well, £25-£40 I should think would be enough bait.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Well, it's a slippery old subject cos they paid £58.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Which is just a tad too much.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16In which case, they're going to need their bonus buy
0:32:16 > 0:32:17so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Now, Sheila, Christine, this is exciting,
0:32:21 > 0:32:23this is your bonus buy moment.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27You gave Paul Laidlaw £177.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29What did you buy, Paul?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31- Oh.- Ta-da!- Hello.- OK.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34So, this is a Deutsche Volksempfaenger,
0:32:34 > 0:32:37a German people's radio.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40This is designed in the mid-30s under the instruction
0:32:40 > 0:32:45of Joseph Goebbels, Reich's Propaganda Minister.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48The Third Reich realised the way to get
0:32:48 > 0:32:51their tainted message into people's homes
0:32:51 > 0:32:54is via the radio. And radios were expensive
0:32:54 > 0:32:56but if they bring about the design
0:32:56 > 0:32:58of a very cheap radio
0:32:58 > 0:33:02and get it into every home then the evil Goebbels
0:33:02 > 0:33:07can feed their vile propaganda into the German people.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10And in truth, there's another facet to this.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Because it was cheap it could only receive a limited number
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- of wavelengths.- Right, yeah.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18What they didn't want it to pick up was the BBC World Service,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21and Allied propaganda. So, truth of the matter is, it's not actually
0:33:21 > 0:33:24a particularly good receiver. So, of course, they were all ditched
0:33:24 > 0:33:26after the war, so they ARE scarce.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- Shall I tell you what I paid for it? - Yes, please.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- Yes, please. - Just £90 for that.- 90!?
0:33:31 > 0:33:35At auction it should make £120-£180.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- Absolutely.- Anywhere, any day. - It's very significant, isn't it?
0:33:39 > 0:33:43- Very significant.- It is. Chillingly fascinating.- Yeah.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- OK, kids, got it?- Thank you.- Yes, thank you very much. Thanks, Paul.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Very interesting, Paul, thank you very much.- Well done.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51And for the audience at home, right now, let's find out
0:33:51 > 0:33:54what the auctioneer thinks about the Nazi radio set.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55Ooh-arr.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57OK, Colin, there we go.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01- We've got the German equivalent, almost, of this.- Yeah.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05Except it's got the Third Reich stamp on it which is pretty scary.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Yeah, I suppose that's going to predate our earlier one.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11These don't come on the market very often over here
0:34:11 > 0:34:13because, lo and behold, most of them are over in Germany
0:34:13 > 0:34:16so fairly common type of radio receiver.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18The condition is good on this but I suppose similar sort of figures
0:34:18 > 0:34:22to the other, it's going to be mid tens maybe 40-60.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Well, young Laidlaw, it's his bonus buy, he's invested £90.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Well, it's his reputation on the line, not mine,
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- so I'm quite happy with that.- OK, fine.
0:34:32 > 0:34:3422, 25 now, do I see five?
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- You happy, guys?- Yeah.- Yes. - Excited?- Very, very.- Yes.- Good.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41You've got the clock garniture that you paid £65 for.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- He's put 60-90 on it.- Wow. - Brilliant.- Excellent, excellent.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45Which is good.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47This is the Art Deco clock garniture this time.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Who's going to start me at £80 for that?
0:34:49 > 0:34:52£80 everybody, 80, 50 to go, then, surely. £50, anyone?

0:35:19 > 0:35:22- All done, going then at £45. - GAVEL BANGS
0:35:22 > 0:35:27£45, that's minus £20. OK, now, stand by for the radio.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Bakelite radio this time, who's going to start me
0:35:30 > 0:35:34at £50 for this. 40, 30 to go then, surely. £30, anybody, 30?

0:35:57 > 0:36:00Two bid now. Two, no? At 20 got a bid. Two now, surely.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04- One more.- At 20 got a bid, two anywhere else now? At 20 got a bid.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- Done and finished then going at £20. - GAVEL BANGS
0:36:06 > 0:36:11- I can't bear it, minus £5. Oh, Lord.- 25 down.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13- Oh, Raymondo.- It's only money.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17We have the ebony walking cane and the other three to go with it.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20There we go, a good composite lot, this. I have many, many bids.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23In fact, I've got four bids at £60.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- At 60, five anywhere else now? 65.- Come on, keep going.

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Well, I'm pleased about that

0:42:43 > 0:42:46Isn't that marvellous? I rest my case.
